Down a point in overtime and having realized that stopping Williamsville inside the 10 yard line would be borderline impossible, Ryan Knox made a decision that would make or break the Warriors season. Athens' head coach decided to go for two, and the play action pass he called worked to perfection, providing a 36-35 overtime win. It marks the first time Athens has ever beat the Bullets in football and the win improves the Warriors to 4-4 on the season with a win or go home Week 9 matchup with Pleasant Plains (5-3) on the docket.
Athens' senior Matthew Selinger toted the rock 16 times for 120 yards and a touchdown. Jace Franklin led Williamsville with 92 yards and two touchdowns on 14 carries and quarterback Vince Vignali ran for 77 yards and a touchdown and threw for 139 yards and two more scores.
The Bullets are now 4-4 heading into their Week 9 matchup against Riverton. Williamsville needs a win to make the playoffs after finishing as the 3A runner up a season ago.
